An award well earned... But...if I could make a wish: could we get the "race/faction shorts" in the station builder, just like we have them in the ship "builder" menu? I mean, sure, there are the faction logos, but due to their size it's sometimes hard to see which faction/race the "building" is from...
Short, sweet, and on point. Please never stop with these, I’m tired of 45 min videos to show something that can be presented in 10 min, and I feel like you respect the viewers and their time
One big one that was not mentioned was the global order where you can now tell your ships not to wait for you to take off, and also to resume their duties immediately after taking command of the ship instead of waiting.
I know it's not exactly fair, but I can't believe that this game got salvage in before Star Citizen and proper ship interiors (even if just cosmetic) before Elite lol Can't wait to see what will come
@@JKNinja Because you have a completely different ship design in ED. You can't load up a different engine that looks different that you walk around. You can't change optional elements, including shields, and put them in different places in SC or X4. Why can't you complain that "you will never understand X4 or Star Citizen not having customisable interiors like Elite does"? Because you don't understand what you are talking about here, but DO have things you have gotten used to. You can't have interiors in Elite because nobody is willing to put a moments' thought behind it, they just assert, and since just asserting is easy, then it MUST be easy. But what do you do? X4 at least learned from Star Citizen and has a "teleporter" and you can do everything and indeed MUST do some things, in ship, not in person. The teleport is allowing you to avoid the grind SC has in walking through interiors. Especially since SC has the size up to M class. Can you imagine how long you have to walk to get to the command center if SC had a ship as large as the Zeus E? And can you imagine how boring trading will be if you have to load by hand 1,000 tons, let alone 12,000 tons for even a medium ship, a la SC that has a couple of tons tops. THAT is why there are no interiors. Because nobody has gameplay for walking about and 99% of people would just do it in-ship as it is quicker and everyone would do it that way eventually and then we'd still have complainers "there's nothing to DOOOO". Throwing the passengers out is more work. And where are they? And if those NPCs are armed? All the complaining are people who never thought or want to steal someone else's ship, never thinking that someone could board their ship and take it away. Even, or especially, if it is in storage in a station. They just want to ruin someone else's game for their lol's. But you need walking around to exist, and that is all that people demand, and they demand walking around, but there is no point to it. And even walking in ED requires you work out how the walking works in a ship that can have different internals you walk around. Throwing NPC passengers out requires you be able to walk into that, and each and every passenger be modelled AND that the cabins be modelled. That requires MORE work. And those cabins can be in different places for each ship. More work.
@@JKNinja If you go to the channel (If up) FRj for the Viper3, you will see he has to split the class 2, but you can't FIT two class 2s and there are singleton class 3 engines. It is why his idea doesn't work. But he at least attempts to get it right with optional internals, but even so, when this is the only thing, has managed a few ships in YEARS, and then only small ones that don't HAVE many internals. It is a good place to think about the ships, but think about it in a way that doesn't start with "I did this, therefore it must be possible" like FRj does.
Okay see, that's exactly what I was looking for out of an update video. covered all the salient points, didn't waste 5 minutes at the start rambling... nice.
HAHAHA!! How did I know you just “happened to have” some Elite Ganguards waiting to be used as wrecks!!! Too funny, my friend, and another great video. Good job, brother! Looks like we’re going to have some fun with wrecks!!!
I love what they did with Paranid ships and turrets! It's a huge upgrade that feels like going from 3/10 to 10/10 in just one go. The other changes are very exciting too. If I was to pick one I'd say it's either the new consoles or additional rooms. Thank you for doing an overview JK Ninja!
I just got into this game, I'm an Eve Online bitter vet :P I was surprised how absorbed I got into this game and everything coming out looks super sleek it reminds me of the Eve redesigns. I hope we keep the old look of he ships too though, I'd love to call some ships something like MK1 and MK2 (MK2 being the new variant) :)
thank you very mutch for this video! I have to say you are one of the good TH-camrs out there. Your videos are all very well made. Keep up the awesome work and stay safe. I really like the new stuff!
Sorry but I had to get a second job to make ends meet, much like a lot of people during these hard times. If I am ever able to get my finances in better shape I would love to come back but unfortunately making these videos takes up too much time
Thank you for your content! Your videos are great. :) Even after 200h in X4 I learned some new things from you. I'm also very looking forward to 5.0 and the DLC. Can't wait to restart a game as a pirate/scavenger. :D
Each interior lessens the chance Borons will become a race, because borons have to be aquatic. Each air-filled space has to have a replication to a boron character and you won't be able to get in there as the wrong type.
regarding the personal office, it actually shows little statues depending on what achievements you have / story missions you completed There is the Xenon amplifier station for example if you did the Yaki plot.
I made a new game for the Beta, in case my saves got corrupted, so didn't notice that until after the video. Did a backup just in case but rather not have to need it
@@JKNinja I was wanting to backup my save games before 5.0 drops. I was wanting to restart and see the game fresh. Anyway, I couldn't find the savegame folder... do you know if they're only in the steam cloud or what?
Thanks for the info! The new interior and redesign looks fantastic. Are the new interiors the same for each race or is it different? Though I'm mainly play Terran, was hoping for some new weapon types to bridge the gap for turret selection. Good stuff non the less.
only started first play through last month. I need to one of those salvage processors outside the xenon jumpgate defence cube station I have setup to clear all the wreckage building up.
Paranid ships always looked like a heavy WIP to me. Compared to the rest they felt like a very low poly placeholders. Glad to see they look up to par with others now.
Incredible updates. I just hope they improve fleet formations, make drones at bases able to be disassembled, make the drones ACTUALLY listen when I tell base to recall them, and fix fleets traveling all staggered instead of together as well as some randomly flying straight in and directly next to enemies 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Less hair dryer, more phaser rifle... I like it :) I liked the external cargo containers, putting them on the redesign would be nice to highlight that it's a cargo ship. It is way too flat. 2 decks high and a kilometer long? It's like those sunfish at the aquarium where they look huge from the side, but then they turn towards you and you see they're 3 inches thick. I would've preferred more encyclopedia and maybe even Boron stuff before this redesign, but it's not bad.
I wonder if there will be NPC-owned scrap stations we can sell scrapped ships to? So we could get our start in the game trolling around looking for wreckage to sell. That should be a game start, where you just start in a manticore.
You don't get credits for scrap, it just starts the processor. Not sure how the NPC stations will work because of that. Of course it is really early in the Beta so not all mechanics are available but if it stays that way, beginning in only a Manticore would be a really rough game start
@@JKNinja i would assume that there would be a payment of some kind that would be added if there are NPC stations, maybe a like 1 tenth of the ship value before it was blown up in order to simulate the ship cost's scap value. I wonder if you could sent full ships(aka not blown up) there to be scrapped in the future.
Re-Designed ships look awesome. Curious if there will be more large ships for each race however save one L and one XL combat vessel, if not this patch but in the future?
Hi mate, remember hearing about X4 back in the day but witnessed all the bugs surface from multiple people and decided to give it a miss. Having stumbled across X4 again and hearing about the new 5.0 update I am tempted to pull the trigger ! I played about 150 hours of Elite and enjoyed it but it was a grind and after getting the anaconda and doing the stuff required for the engineers my enjoyment soon died off. The one thing that I still hear is the AI , for someone who would love to build an empire and have capital ships has the 5.0 update so far helped in that aspect ? Is it worth me taking the jump ? Thanks bud.
I'm an Elite refugee myself since Odyssey. If you want to build an empire with huge fleets that what X4 is all about. As for bugs there is always something after a version release but Egosoft tries to patch it as soon as they can. I consider it a fast response considering it's a team of maybe a dozen developers
@@JKNinja thanks for getting back to me mate ,I do seem to be hearing good things and the new update plus DLC seems promising. Just one more question bud if you don't mind , like you said the empire aspect is appealing and is what I'm looking for but does the game live up to the other features that elite has in terms of combat and visuals etc as like I said I did enjoy this part up till odyessy . :)
Its a reused asset from the Split storyline so not sure if it will have a game mechanic or just cosmetic. Either way more ship interiors is always a good thing!
Gambling den is prob a modifier to increase production on a station crews have a place to get smashed and loose all there pay there is a genius idea lol pay them to work then take it right back off them
Man if they ever released an MMO version of this.... Keep the single player version as I'm sure there's folks that have no interest in an MMO. Use it as the resting ground to add to the MMO. But the more I see of this game and play the more it seems like this is the game SC and ED folks would really want plus some of the building aspect that Dual Universe and Starbase folks might want. Interiors on these massive ships and stations would outweigh planetary gameplay to me. I don't see how this game isn't more widely talked about.
Maybe slightly off - topic, but is there a way to disable large ship /station explosions damaging surroundings ? I get it is somewhat reasonable, but takes away so many strategies with S ships i dont consider it an "improvement" overall.
Ships have antimatter. It is how they can move and produce power for shields and guns and so on. When you kill a ship, some of the matter meets the released antimatter, released BECAUSE THE SHIP DIED BY BLASTER FIRE. And the bigger the ship, the more antimatter it has.
@@markhackett2302 as i said - i do not question reasoning behind it, its the universe they created after all, so take it or leave it. All im saying is that it unecessarily limits the ways you can play this game, and S swarms werent OP before so personaly i would prefer more variable gameplay than "realism" in a fantasy game.
@@martynaskrivaitis1961 Well make your own game. With blackjack and hookers if you like. But until then YOU don't get to decide what the game world does, and what it does is what I said.
the chair doesn't work yet, I should have said that was my personal prediction. But I couldn't image they would give us this mechanic and not let it work with SETA
any performance improvements ? I am waiting for better CPU utilization and multicore function before I play this game again, atm i runs better on my old computer than my new one
CPU demands exist for the well designed Battlefield, but still people complain about THAT. What makes you think that they haven't done it here? They prioritise it differently is 100% plausible, and answers your perception. They optimised for 4 cores, and AI scales to 8 cores, but it HAS to fit in 4. As an example. They may be limited to how Windows does things. It is NOTORIOUSLY bad at forking, so the less reliable and more side effect prone multitasking has to be done. If they optimise for high core counts they could spawn off on a different core or cores several AI patches, but that means not using multithreading and it is slower on 4 cores or an old 8 core design. Do they kill older hardware or "be inefficient" in your eyes because it doesn't scale on high end cores? Or they have to write two types and determine on startup which is best, meaning they spend more time keeping both?
@@markhackett2302 I appreciate your reply Mark, not often I get a quality reply like that. Yes maybe it is just my perception that thinking a computer upgrade should equal better performance. It still feels very wrong though to get a downgrade.
@@TheCephalus This market doesn't agree with you, however. But the 1050Ti is more expensive than the starting price and the 1650 non super slower and the same price as the 6500XT, so IN THIS MARKET, the 6500XT IS an upgrade.
the QOL changes I want is being able to manage subordinate behavior through the PHQ info panel. THERE ARE ICE ASTEROIDS RIGHT NEXT TO THE THING BUT IT SENDS MY MINERS TO THE OTHER END OF THE GALAXY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE also they need to fix turrets. I modded my game with Better Turrets System and they still won't fire.
I found that the controller auto aim is alot worse in the 5.0 beta my nemesis cant hit swat over 2km ahead. it cant even hit another nemesis as it did before.
Unfortunately I only use mouse. They did make changes to auto aim in the patch notes, if you're having troubles with only controller I'd recommend submitting a bug report. That sounds like something they could be easily missed
Another dlc and they still haven't fixed the Terrans, barely any wepons and some of there ships look like they belong to the paranid, also some of there stations modals don't fit together properly. I want the starburst back damit ! Thanks for the video tho :-)
Nope, starburst works on terran ships. You need the deployer. But load away. Or did you whine that there isn't a terran version? There isn't a Teladi version either (and the teladi are slower than the terrans too), but never heard you complain. You complain about "lack of meaningful choice" but you don't want any downsides for your choice? Doesn't work like that cupcake. If you CHOOSE the terrans for the best shields and best guns, then you lose the best engines and the starburst et al. Live with your choice. It's YOUR choice.
I like how they keep adding new content, yet the base of the game (A.I.) is still a shitshow. Can't even do a proper station attack with 10 destroyers, because they drift into death for some unknown reasons. Blame it on the pilot skill, right? Fucking clown devs. The video is great, thanks for it.
@@kvacm That the thing. OOS battles are just avarage calculations and nothing more. I want to be in the sector, see what the hell is happening, because it looks amazing, i don't want to play 2D dice rolling game. I did not pay for that.
@@kvacm I know its not an easy job to make a decent path finding "AI", but some basic shit would help greatly in these situations. Like, an attack command, to "Attack from greatest possible distance", and things like that. This game has soooo much potential, like x3 had, but they keep failing. Thats why i'm angry and sad at the same time.
Combat is unplayable atm in 5.0. Aim assist has been broken. Turrets, and main guns can't hit anything unless at very close range or the ship is stopped.

I love your game egosoft!! Super excited for the 5.0 update!! :)
Thank you so much for Updating the Paranid Ships!
Hope he enjoys the merriment!
Hey @Egosoft the terran medium miner is like a discarded split design
Short, sweet, and on point. Please never stop with these, I’m tired of 45 min videos to show something that can be presented in 10 min, and I feel like you respect the viewers and their time
Looks good the ship redesign's were needed, also expanding the interiors is an excellent idea, the ships are massive would be good to explore them.
One big one that was not mentioned was the global order where you can now tell your ships not to wait for you to take off, and also to resume their duties immediately after taking command of the ship instead of waiting.
Now that are some quality of life changes that every X4 player can appreciate. I think from all the updates this one is the one I'm most excited for.
More ship interiors... haha! Suck it Elite Dangerous!
Rearming multiple ships at once is probably my most favorite thing so far.
Not going to lie that got me laughing out loud for reals. I'm an Elite refugee myself so definitely understand how important those ship interiors are
And "more interiors"? WHY? How about "customisable interiors" which exist in ED but not SC or X4?
FINALLY. My days of rearming my 60 torpedo chimera is coming to an end ;-;
hahaha same here ! finally
Ha ha, I have received a heads-up for that, but is nice to see it confirmed :D
I love the Elite Vanguard running joke
Fantastic video once again! I can't wait to see more content on the new update and expansion! Keep up the great work!
I know it's not exactly fair, but I can't believe that this game got salvage in before Star Citizen and proper ship interiors (even if just cosmetic) before Elite lol
Can't wait to see what will come
I haven't played Star Citizen, but coming from Elite I'll never understand why Frontier is so against ship interiors
one word: priorities.
@@JKNinja Because you have a completely different ship design in ED. You can't load up a different engine that looks different that you walk around. You can't change optional elements, including shields, and put them in different places in SC or X4.

Because you don't understand what you are talking about here, but DO have things you have gotten used to.
You can't have interiors in Elite because nobody is willing to put a moments' thought behind it, they just assert, and since just asserting is easy, then it MUST be easy.
But what do you do?
X4 at least learned from Star Citizen and has a "teleporter" and you can do everything and indeed MUST do some things, in ship, not in person. The teleport is allowing you to avoid the grind SC has in walking through interiors. Especially since SC has the size up to M class. Can you imagine how long you have to walk to get to the command center if SC had a ship as large as the Zeus E?
And can you imagine how boring trading will be if you have to load by hand 1,000 tons, let alone 12,000 tons for even a medium ship, a la SC that has a couple of tons tops.

By modding the game, maybe, but you have to go to each ship and see if it has an explosion radius.
Ships have antimatter. It is how they can move and produce power for shields and guns and so on. When you kill a ship, some of the matter meets the released antimatter, released BECAUSE THE SHIP DIED BY BLASTER FIRE. And the bigger the ship, the more antimatter it has.
@@markhackett2302 as i said - i do not question reasoning behind it, its the universe they created after all, so take it or leave it. All im saying is that it unecessarily limits the ways you can play this game, and S swarms werent OP before so personaly i would prefer more variable gameplay than "realism" in a fantasy game.
@@martynaskrivaitis1961 Well make your own game. With blackjack and hookers if you like. But until then YOU don't get to decide what the game world does, and what it does is what I said.
Do the new Paranid ships substitute the old ones or they're just a new variant?
I'm not sure how Egosoft is going to handle that yet. In the Beta you still have access to the Vanguard and Sentinel variants along with the new model
We need Boron :D
O_O ... whee! \o/
Wait. *CAN* you run SETA on the Player Office Chair?
good question. Id like confirmation too.
the chair doesn't work yet, I should have said that was my personal prediction. But I couldn't image they would give us this mechanic and not let it work with SETA
Do we know yet, if any sort of multiplayer will be activated?
Nothing definative yet
@@JKNinja Thanks!
There is no N in turret.
Legitimate Salvage
any performance improvements ? I am waiting for better CPU utilization and multicore function before I play this game again, atm i runs better on my old computer than my new one
there are graphical improvements through FidelityFX, but I didn't see any mention of CPU optimization
CPU demands exist for the well designed Battlefield, but still people complain about THAT. What makes you think that they haven't done it here? They prioritise it differently is 100% plausible, and answers your perception. They optimised for 4 cores, and AI scales to 8 cores, but it HAS to fit in 4.
As an example.
They may be limited to how Windows does things. It is NOTORIOUSLY bad at forking, so the less reliable and more side effect prone multitasking has to be done. If they optimise for high core counts they could spawn off on a different core or cores several AI patches, but that means not using multithreading and it is slower on 4 cores or an old 8 core design. Do they kill older hardware or "be inefficient" in your eyes because it doesn't scale on high end cores? Or they have to write two types and determine on startup which is best, meaning they spend more time keeping both?
@@markhackett2302 I appreciate your reply Mark, not often I get a quality reply like that.
Yes maybe it is just my perception that thinking a computer upgrade should equal better performance.
It still feels very wrong though to get a downgrade.
@@TheCephalus This market doesn't agree with you, however. But the 1050Ti is more expensive than the starting price and the 1650 non super slower and the same price as the 6500XT, so IN THIS MARKET, the 6500XT IS an upgrade.
the QOL changes I want is being able to manage subordinate behavior through the PHQ info panel.
THERE ARE ICE ASTEROIDS RIGHT NEXT TO THE THING BUT IT SENDS MY MINERS TO THE OTHER END OF THE GALAXY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
also they need to fix turrets. I modded my game with Better Turrets System and they still won't fire.
I found that the controller auto aim is alot worse in the 5.0 beta my nemesis cant hit swat over 2km ahead. it cant even hit another nemesis as it did before.
Unfortunately I only use mouse. They did make changes to auto aim in the patch notes, if you're having troubles with only controller I'd recommend submitting a bug report. That sounds like something they could be easily missed
@@JKNinja Not sure if its specific to a controller, shots seem to aimed just below the target. I will try a bug report though
Another dlc and they still haven't fixed the Terrans, barely any wepons and some of there ships look like they belong to the paranid, also some of there stations modals don't fit together properly. I want the starburst back damit ! Thanks for the video tho :-)
Nope, starburst works on terran ships. You need the deployer. But load away.
Or did you whine that there isn't a terran version? There isn't a Teladi version either (and the teladi are slower than the terrans too), but never heard you complain. You complain about "lack of meaningful choice" but you don't want any downsides for your choice? Doesn't work like that cupcake. If you CHOOSE the terrans for the best shields and best guns, then you lose the best engines and the starburst et al. Live with your choice. It's YOUR choice.
Why only paranoid redesign
Egosoft started the redesign with the Paranid. The Argon and Teladi will be coming soon
@@JKNinja me doing elbow thrusting with bent knees @ this comment
SETA over night xD
Gambling den... turns population into credits? 🤔
that's an interesting prediction!
wish auto salvage worked.
AUTOPILOT EPICALLY FAILED DUE TO DIVERSITY HIRE PROGRAMMERS
I like how they keep adding new content, yet the base of the game (A.I.) is still a shitshow. Can't even do a proper station attack with 10 destroyers, because they drift into death for some unknown reasons. Blame it on the pilot skill, right? Fucking clown devs. The video is great, thanks for it.
Dude, I just destroyed two Xenon Defensive station without being there. Can't say it for 100% but looks like ithey did it!
@@kvacm That the thing. OOS battles are just avarage calculations and nothing more. I want to be in the sector, see what the hell is happening, because it looks amazing, i don't want to play 2D dice rolling game. I did not pay for that.
@@Lann91 I know that feel, that's why I need to try it that way too. But even this is a big step! Not a suicide.
@@kvacm I know its not an easy job to make a decent path finding "AI", but some basic shit would help greatly in these situations. Like, an attack command, to "Attack from greatest possible distance", and things like that. This game has soooo much potential, like x3 had, but they keep failing. Thats why i'm angry and sad at the same time.
@@kvacm How?! I have to baby sit even oos because my destroyers get too close in oos.
Combat is unplayable atm in 5.0. Aim assist has been broken. Turrets, and main guns can't hit anything unless at very close range or the ship is stopped.
Have you submitted a bug report? Egosoft tweaked auto aim for the Beta, have heard from others the same thing
@@JKNinja I'm not sure how to.
go to forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=192&t=405397. Around the top you'll see a link called "Public Beta Feedback". That forum is where you'll make the post
@@JKNinja Thank you!
